The Philippines flag was adopted on 16 September 1997. It comprises two equal sized horizontal bands of colours and a parallel white triangle on the left hand part of the ensign fronting the middle. The red stripe signifies gallantry and the bloodshed, while the blue band signifies justice and nationalism and white triangle denotes equality. In the central part of the triangle a large golden yellow sun is encircled by three five pointed golden yellow star placed in each nook of the triangle. The three stars symbolize three regions of Philippines.
